Unfortunately, although the artistic quality of the plate is very high, most of these objects are not signed, therefore we are not able to define the authorship of this object. However, immediately under this description we have placed some similar objects made by the artists mentioned above, all quoted or sold at very high prices, all to give a general idea of the value of similar pieces fired enamelled on metal. Note the similarity with the enamelled copper plate from Turin, of the rear too, offered on Pamono for €1500.Final thoughts on the object:The patina that covers the object is wonderful, especially on the back and on the cartouche, oxidized and darkened by the passage of time, an object dating back around the 1920-1930. The decoration is beautiful, stylized in an impressionist style with futuristic elements of great value. Finally, it should be considered that the iconography of the Odyssey is particularly rare and appreciated on the art market. A real treat for art lovers and collectors. ENTER OUR EBAY SHOP.
